Patients with liver cirrhosis often have impaired or at-risk kidney function due to the close link between liver and kidney (hepatorenal syndrome). Laparoscopic splenectomy is commonly used to treat splenomegaly and hypersplenism in these patients, but its impact on kidney function over 2 years is unclear. This study will follow patients undergoing laparoscopic splenectomy to measure changes in kidney function before and after surgery, identify risk factors for kidney damage and whether laparoscopic splenectomy can improve kidney function in the long term, and help improve care to protect kidney function in cirrhotic patients .
Confirmed diagnosis of liver cirrhosis (clinical, laboratory, imaging)
Splenomegaly and hypersplenism
No history of portal hypertension bleeding (esophageal and gastric variceal bleeding )
Age 18-80 years, male or female
Child-Pugh Class C liver cirrhosis
Primary renal diseases (glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, chronic pyelonephritis, etc.)
Previous abdominal surgery precluding safe laparoscopic splenectomy
Severe cardiac, pulmonary, cerebrovascular dysfunction; malignant tumors; primary hematological disorders
Prospective, single-center, observational cohort study with a total duration of 24 months (2 years). Patients with cirrhosis, splenomegaly and hypersplenism scheduled for elective laparoscopic splenectomy will be enrolled and followed for 2 years to assess renal function dynamics.
Cohort
Prospective
Not listed
Serum creatinine (Scr) level
Change in serum creatinine (Scr) level
Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)
Change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) For females: If serum creatinine (Scr) ≤ 0.7 mg/dL: eGFR = 142 × (Scr/0.7)\^(-0.241) × (0.9938)\^Age; If Scr \> 0.7 mg/dL: eGFR = 142 × (Scr/0.7)\^(-1.200) × (0.9938)\^Age. For males: If Scr ≤ 0.9 mg/dL: eGFR = 142 × (Scr/0.9)\^(-0.302) × (0.9938)\^Age; If Scr \> 0.9 mg/dL: eGFR = 142 × (Scr/0.9)\^(-1.200) × (0.9938)\^Age. Note: Results are in mL/min/1.73 m². Age is in years.
BUN and UA level
Changes in BUN and UA level
Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR)
Changes in Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio \[UACR (mg/g) = Urine albumin concentration (mg/L) ÷ Urine creatinine concentration (g/L)\]
Intraoperative variables
operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fluid infusion
Postoperative complications
bleeding, infection, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites
